That's pretty cool history, and yes! I do remember the Egghead stores back around 1995! I was pretty young at the time but I do remember the Windows 3.0 rant. I actually never got to touch Windows 3.0 until 3.11 (which was 3.0 with networking +)
There was also that computer wearhouse that I can barely remember anymore they sold everything including postdated software in flippy disk format. Good times!:D
I fail to see why we seem to think the laws of the government apply to those of the Internet. Sure Carpenter used hacking to discover the company was leaking information. But industrial espionage is necessary for national security. If you're a "security analysis expert" or whatever you want to call yourself sometimes you have to break the rules to make sure all your people you're flushing with money are faithful to you.
Take a look at it this way, if Sandia National Labs was a software vendor who designed software for a large company who was designing software for my company that is practically a trade secret, something that must not be leaked in anyway shape or form to because it could be the difference between me and my competitors beating me out for my services. Id probably hire a few "reverse hackers" myself.
But if anything I would put it in writing that government probing (in various forms) will be used and used to maintain the integrity of this information.

1. Give away free razors

I'm no Microsoft fan, but people here are making pretty big asses of themselves over here without reason. I've been working with Vista Release Candidates and I've yet to see a serious issue regarding the hibernation mode. On this note, the people who are interested in articles like these probably aren't going to care of how wonderful the hibernation features of Ubuntu 6.10 or SuSE are.
But the "Linux will fix all of that" crowd needs to STFU sometimes.
